Commissioner Brown: Fallon? Okay. What was the reason for restricting the uses so <br /> specifically? What was the rationale there? <br /> Luchini: So actually that was a call made by the applicant and he'd be better off to speak about <br /> that, but I think staff's initial recommendation that we would be comfortable if they selected an <br /> applicable zoning district that already had an established list of uses such as C-C or the C-F. <br /> Commissioner Brown: Okay, I'll ask them. And my final question was, looking at the diagram <br /> there's sort of the hairpin turn around versus going just straight out. My comment is that if <br /> somebody's going to drive through its because they want to leave and they don't want to park <br /> and right now the plan has the traffic from the drive-thru coming back around the building back <br /> in front of all the parking and people are backing out and then crossing into the lane of traffic <br /> trying to enter the drive-thru. So what I was wondering was why you just didn't go directly west <br /> and come down that other driveway? <br /> Luchini: There actually is a driveway there directly west....right here. <br /> Commissioner Brown: Yes, why not just take the drive-thru to the driveway. <br /> Luchini: They have three parking spaces there so I think it was an attempt to fit a trash <br /> enclosure and get those three additional spaces to be conforming with the actual <br /> requirements. <br /> Chair Ritter: They have six don't they? <br /> Luchini: They have six total in that area. To go straight through the drive-thru and the trash <br /> enclosure takes two spaces. <br /> Commissioner Brown: And you couldn't recover six spaces by extending that over? This is a <br /> workshop and I'm not trying to design from the dais here but it just seems to me that we're <br /> creating a traffic nightmare forcing it around and past traffic backing out of all of those spaces <br /> and then potentially having to get stopped by people trying to exit the drive-thru. If people are <br /> just looking to get their coffee and go, I'd rather get them to go and not cross back across so <br /> that's why I was asking the question. Again, maybe it's a fairer question for the applicant. <br /> Luchini: I think staff would acknowledge and sought an ideal circulation pattern through there. <br /> I'm not sure that you'd be able to recover three or actually six of those parking spaces with that <br /> design, but again, it's a PUD so there is flexibility in the standards and if that's the direction the <br /> Commission wants to go, you'd have to make that recommendation to the applicant. <br /> Commissioner Balch: Before you do then, I'll just make a comment that the Starbucks that this <br /> is designed after is the Starbucks on Airway Boulevard in Livermore. So you call Livermore <br /> and they have this exact plan. <br /> Commissioner Brown: Yes, and I've sat in that queue. <br /> Commissioner Balch: I've parked in that parking lot and have been seen in the queue. <br /> THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. <br /> Excerpt: Planning Commission Minutes, September 28, 2016 Page 8 of 20 <br /> <br /> Dublin going? <br /> Commissioner O'Connor: Down on Fallon. <br /> Excerpt: Planning Commission Minutes, September 28, 2016 Page 7 of 20 <br />itions shall apply to bars,brew pubs,microbreweries and wine bars:(1)The zoning administrator finds that adequate parking is available for <br /> said use;(2)If the zoning administrator determines that the use will be or is creating odor problems,an odor abatement device determined to be appropriate by the <br /> zoning administrator shall be installed within the exhaust ventilation system to mitigate brewery odors;(3)The applicant is in compliance with all applicable <br /> requirements of Chapter 9.04 of this code;(4)If operation of the use results in conflicts pertaining to parking,noise,odors,traffic,or other factors,the zoning <br /> administrator may modify or add conditions to mitigate such impacts,or may revoke the zoning certificate for the use. <br /> 5.
